Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-maps-json-6c44b38e
```

Example prompt: What time zone is at coordinates 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W? I need the IANA timezone ID, the UTC offset, and whether daylight saving time is currently in effect — use the current timestamp.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, Google-backed timezone resolution from raw latitude/longitude coordinates, especially when DST awareness and IANA timezone IDs are required. Prefer this over IP-based timezone lookup when you have precise GPS coordinates. Ideal for scheduling, calendar localization, and displaying local times in applications.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range coordinates return an error status
- Missing required timestamp parameter causes request failure
- Coordinates over ocean or unmapped areas may return a generic timezone
- API key missing or invalid returns REQUEST_DENIED status
- Timestamp too far in the past or future may yield unexpected DST results

## How this service works

Get time zone for coordinates

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the IANA timezone ID (e.g. 'America/New_York'), a human-readable timezone name, the DST offset in seconds, the raw UTC offset in seconds, and a status string indicating success or error.
